Strategic Sourcing

Creighton University gives preference to environmentally superior products whose quality, function, and cost are equal or superior to conventional products. We require that products and packaging materials contain a prescribed minimum post-consumer recycled content and be minimized and/or substituted with more environmentally appropriate alternatives whenever possible. All products are chosen based on efficient use of energy, natural resources, and potential for safe, non-hazardous disposal. A potential supplier's own sustainable policies and practices are serious criteria for final award of University business.
